Great Place to Work

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Great Sales team and opportunities to move up. Small enough so you are recognized but large enough to provide tools you would expect from a large company.

Cons

Some departments have smaller teams so you need to be versatile.

Thank you for the five-star review – I think Symetra is a great place to work, too! I love what you said about Symetra being small enough to focus on employee professional development and recognize achievements, but big enough to give employees the systems and resources they need to take care of our customers and partners.

We appreciate the supportive comments as well as the generally strong review – thank you. I was surprised to see the low rating for our CEO – Margaret generally gets high marks from current and past employees, for her authenticity and commitment to improve the company and the industry. It is our sincere hope and belief that our organizational practices are transparent and adhere to the highest standards possible. We have a special culture that emphasizes and fosters the value of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion – we live by the motto #winasateam. If we have a place in the organization that needs some “tuning”, we welcome the opportunity for improvement. With regards to compensation, like most industry leaders, we are perpetually reviewing salaries through third-party surveys and other external industry benchmarking which currently indicates that we are on the high side of the market median for salary ranges. For anyone interested in working in a progressive company, equitable practices and strong technical leadership, we would love to hear from you.
